Just repeating what I was told for all to hear. Some was proprietary that I can not repeat. Sworn to secrecy you know or they would fly over from Finland and haul me away! Seriously, I have some incredible shooters that are Tikka and I just wanted answers. How do I have three relatively cheap...

I don't know if I have replied to this thread or not but I am amazed at the tikka performance. I own six with three I shoot and three in the box. The ones I shoot are amazing and will shoot with any rifle I own. When savage first started their new run of good accurate rifles about ten or so...

I can't help you with the 270's. The only CE bullets I have shot anything with are the 30 and 338 caliber so I can't comment on the others. I can't understand why they would not shoot in your 338. So far I have been lucky and they have shot in everything I have put them in. I would be glad to...

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 There are many variations of the lapua improved and I worked on and tested several back when the lapua case was introduced. The versions with minimal body taper, 35-40 degree shoulder, with the shoulder pushed...

Phorwath, Your experience is no different than everyone else in our hunting group down here. With all the cow tags we get to see 30+ elk kills per year some years. Some days 5+ per day depending on how many are hunting together. Several guys went through the berger bullet phase with many bad...

Thanks, look forward to seeing you when you get up this way.

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 I didn't see that and I am sure others didn't as well and would like to see your side by side tests and the loads you used to get so much more velocity in the 338-300 RUM than the 338 RUM. Most of my testing...

Many people here quit using bergers less than 210 grain 30 cals a few years ago on elk because of the high wound loss rate. smaller cals and lighter weight ones had problems on big animals. They get cursed a lot mostly in this area. I hope you have continued success with them. I do not like to...

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 Why would the powders/techniques used to get the extra velocity now out of the 338-300 RUM not do the same for the 338 RUM? All the side by side tests I did in 2001 had both between 2750-2850 fps depending on...

Thanks, he was a really good one for this year. All the feed and water holes dried up over the summer and not much for horns this year. He is one of the biggest bucks I have seen this year in the area and I drive through it regularly seeing hundreds of antelope. I haven't put a tape on him but...

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 SBruce, The case capacity is slightly larger but most of the accuracy loads are identical and so is the performance of the two cartridges. These two are about as identical as you can get with the only advantage...

Thanks and I understand hunters want to know so they can make good educated decisions. I just try to be very careful to present everything in good taste so as not to offend anyone. As much money as I spend hunting all over north america every year I am going to use the absolute best products...

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 Again, the 338-300 RUM has no edge or advantage over the 338 RUM. It is the other way around. the 338 RUM has all the advantages and is the better cartridge. They are twins performance wise however the 338 RUM...

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 The 338 RUM will do anything the 338-300 RUM will do in a much better package.

Re: What is the best .33 caliber precision long range hunting round??? Remington 700 338 RUM, it was designed for it.
